Charge turned a looker against a dancer (7)
I believe the answer is:
nureyev
'a dancer' is the definition.
(Rudolf Nureyev)
'charge turned a looker against' is the wordplay.
'charge' becomes 'run'.
'turned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'a looker' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'against' becomes 'v' (versus).
'run' backwards is 'nur'.
'nur'+'eye'+'v'='NUREYEV'
(Other definitions for nureyev that I've seen before include "Russian-born ballet dancer, who partnered Fonteyn, d. 1993" , "Who might have danced" , "Fonteyn's dancing partner Rudolf" , "Famous Russian ballet dancer" , "Rudolf -------, (1938-93), dancer" .)
